Four Poems
night driving
the car explodes
takes you with it
a polite hostage
enjoying the upholstery
before i die
i will never be
that guy
paddling down the
river on his kayak as if
he was me
hole in the ceiling
you on my body
the giant dog beside the bed
the murderer on the roof
watches tv with us
life & death
life: a series of checks and balances
death: you don't need any underwear

Theo Huber
Theo Huber is a visual artist based in Hamburg, Germany.
In his painting practice, he looks for images that tell of the daily struggles, joys, longings, and failures of being human. In combining autobiographical references, everyday observations, comic elements and surreal inventions, he creates pictures in which inner processes (feelings, memories etc.) meet the circumstances of the world surrounding him (paying rent, traffic, nightlife, etc.).
Most of his paintings relate to the urban space. The dialectic of its myth between the dreamy romanticism of the big city and the place of failure, impoverishment, and isolation has become a central motif of Huber's work and research.
He studied in Halle, Dresden, Boston and at the HfBK Hamburg, in the class of Jutta Koether, where he completed his MFA in 2024.
